CHRISTMAS Sunday was comparatively
quiet day, but yesterday the effects of
Christmas soon became visible, and several
fights in different portions of the city en-.
sued While many refrained from exhibit
ing much hilarity from the fact that the en
bems of mourning were up in memory of
the late Mayor Smoot, others gave rather
too loose reins TO their conviviality. Enter.
tainmenls were given by various clubs, and
at private houses numbers assembled to par
take of the festivities Of the occasion. AS
night set in, barring the occasional explos,
ion of fire crackers, the city grew quieter,
and after the alarm of fire had subsidized the
city resumed its normal condition.

PROFESSOR E. L. UMA
IFrom Harper's Weekly.l

Prof. Edward Livingston Ysumans
died at his home, in New York, on
January 10, i'll his sixty-sixth year.
Prof, Youmans was a native Of Coey-
mans New York, and a resident of
Saratoga during his youth; but he
came to this city in early manhood,
and spent the most of his life here. In
1851 he began to write and complete
scientific works. He became an Inti-
mate friend of Herbert Spencer, Prof.
Huxley, Prof. Tyndall, and other scien-
titic men in England and on the CONT
nent, and the most fruitful work OF his
lite grew out of these friendships. To
give wider publicity, especially to the
writings of Herbert Spencer, was one
of the main motives which led Prof.
Youmaus to found the Popular Science
Monthly. which, with the editorial
assistance of his brother, he continued
until his death. This suggested to him
the plan which took shape in the In
te%rnational Scientific Series" of vol
umes by authoritative writers,
each about his speciality. which was
the most comprehensive schedule for
making popular the results of a great
intellectual movement, perhaps, that
can be found in the history of litera-
ture. Fifty-seven volumes of the
series have been written aud published
simultaneously in New York, London,
Paris, LEIPZIG, Milan and St. Petersburg,
and the authors have received payment
from the sale of the books in all coun-
tries
The most important of Prot. You
mans own writings are a Class-Book
Of Chemistry, Alcohol and the Consti-
tuition of Man, The Chemical Atlas
The Hand Book of Chemical Science,
The Correlation and the Conservation
OF Forces, and the Culture Demanded
by Modern Life. Although his bes,
service to science was his pOpulariza
ton of all the most noteworthy scien
tlfic writers of the time, and rot origi
nal contributions, he was all euthusias
tic and accomplished experimenter il
chemistry and physics. For a perioC
during his early lite he was blind, anG
his sister, Miss Anne Eliza Youmans
conducted experiments fer him. Fo
the greater part of his life, during IN
last forty years, Professor YOum&n
had intimate literary relations with IN
